Basically, if you’re not schlepping over to California or Amsterdam, you’ve got to be really brazen about it and put up with dirty looks from passers by, or you’ve got to skulk around deserted parks and side streets.

But no longer.

Because you can now travel the world with ease, thanks to Bud and Breakfast – a worldwide network of cannabis-friendly accommodations.

Bud and Breakfast, which currently has over 100,000 registered guests, offers travellers the chance to book into safe and legal cannabis-friendly hostels, private properties and hotels around the world.

Basically, it’s a property listing site which is like a green AirBnB, and was set up by Sean Roby and Shayan Bastani.

Based in Colorado, the pair were inspired by the recent legislation to legalise cannabis in the state.

Sean tells Metro.co.uk that when a state or country is on the brink of passing a medical or recreational measure for canabis, Bud n Breakfast gets their team on the ground to help promote cannabis tourism.

‘Usually we get media sources coming to us about our company in these places as “Canna Tourism” tends to explode directly before and after legislation passes,’ Sean explains.

‘To say people have been excited would be an understatement!’

Their ambition is to help people enjoy ‘the pleasure of 420 travel with the joy of the kush’, while giving hostel owners a chance to market their accommodation to like-minded people.

‘The days of the mundane, sterile and boring hotel room experience is quickly falling away to a new generation of travelers who want to really feel a place in its authenticity.

‘Our hosts are “heroes” in the respect that they are “wikipedias” of knowledge for their given area and for us specifically, all things cannabis related.

‘It could be a farm tour, a dispensary tour, an infused meal, a local show or cannabis related event. Our hosts KNOW cannabis and help us provide an all inclusive experience.’

Bud and Breakfast claim that the two fastest growing groups of cannabis consumers are women and baby boomers, and that they in particular seek safe, friendly accommodations which enable them to explore cannabis abroad.

Some will let you bring pets, others won’t. And charges vary – there may be cleaning fees, refundable damage deposits and taxes.

But what about listings which are in areas where cannabis isn’t legal?

‘We do have accommodations in states where medical and recreational use is not allowed,’ says Sean.

‘This is up to the accommodation owner. If we get a listing outside of these normal parameters, we get in touch with the owner directly and tell them that there is risk involved and that they should adhere to their local guidelines.

‘Most of our accommodation owners in less liberal areas are providing CBD parts of the plant that do not have any THC. High CBD extractions from Cannabis, that have the THC removed are legal across America.

‘Many of our guests are coming to our locations to get treated for auto immune issues, diabetes and other health problems. For instance in Colorado, we have a ton of folks coming in to be treated with CBD therapies.

‘CBD is the non-psychoactive part of the cannabis plant that has been successfully treating everything from cancer to epilepsy. So in this regard, hosts feel it to be an ethical issue at this point.
